  • Patent number: 12257008
    Abstract: Medical software tools platform utilizes a surgical display to provide access to specific medical software tools, such as medically-oriented applications or widgets, that can assist those in the operating room, such as a surgeon or surgical team, with a surgery. In particular, an optical sensor located within an endoscopic camera may register the momentary change in the optical characteristics reflected from a tissue surface and in turn transmit the information to a medical image processing system which can also receive patient heart rate data and display relevant anomalies. Changes in various spectral components and the speed at which they change in relation to a source of stimulus (heartbeat, etc.) may indicate the arrival of blood, contrast agents or oxygen absorption. Combinations of these may indicate various states of differing disease or margins of tumors, and so forth. Also, changes in temperatures and the speed of change may indicate subsurface anomalies.

  • Patent number: 12257434
    Abstract: Methods and systems for stimulating nerve fibers to treat a condition in a patient are disclosed herein. Such methods can include stimulating, via an electrode device, afferent fibers associated with baroreceptors and/or a carotid sinus nerve of a patient; sensing a heart rate of the patient; and adjusting a stimulation frequency of the afferent fibers based on the sensed heart rate. The heart rate can be indicative of an activity level of the patient, and an increase in the sensed heart rate can cause an increase in the stimulation frequency.

  • Publication number: 20250094602
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to cryptographic key exchanges. In some embodiments, a computing device includes a cryptographic circuit coupled to a secure memory inaccessible to a processor of the computing device. Program instructions executing on the computing device can request performance of a key exchange to establish a shared secret with another device. The cryptographic circuit is configured to perform the key exchange including deriving the shared secret using private key material maintained in the secure memory. In some embodiments, the key exchange includes verifying a key authorization data structure issued by a key authority including a first public key of a first participant authority and a second public key of a second participant authority. In response to the verifying being successful, the exchange uses a public key pair attested to by the first participant authority as belonging to a member in the first device group.

  • Publication number: 20250093158
    Abstract: An interferometric resonator optical gyroscope includes an optical frequency comb generator configured to generate an optical frequency comb. Optical signals representative of the optical frequency comb pass through an optical resonator in different directions, and a rotation rate is determined based on the extent of interference between the optical signals. Parameters of the optical frequency comb generator can be controlled by a control servo based on an intensity of the optical signals after propagating in the optical resonator. Utilizing an optical frequency comb generator reduces the bias error during gyroscope operation.

  • Publication number: 20250094549
    Abstract: Example aspects include techniques for providing a compliant and auditable approach for a user to perform an action without sufficient privileges. These techniques may include receiving, from a first user account, a first request to perform an action and determining that the first user account does not have permission to perform the action. In addition, the techniques may include identifying a second user account having permission to perform the action and transmitting, to the second user account, a second request for approval to perform the action. Further, the techniques may include performing in response to approval of the second request, the action without providing the permission to the first user account.

  • Publication number: 20250090974
    Abstract: A fractionation column can be used to separate a liquid containing multiple components into its constituent components based on vapor pressure. While the fractionation column may be designed for certain operational performance, the operational characteristics may change, for example, due to changed flow rates through the column and/or fouling in the column. In some examples, a fractionation column is described that includes a fractionation tray formed of multiple tray decks that move relative to each other. The tray decks can have apertures that move relative to each other between a position in which there is a comparatively large amount of open area through the fractionation tray to a position in which there is a comparatively small amount of open area through the fractionation tray. Movement of the trays can control turndown and/or clear fouling buildup on the tray surface.

  • Patent number: 12250993
    Abstract: A device configured to surround a portion of a foot-receiving cavity at a heel region of an article of footwear comprises a control bar having a center segment, a first side arm extending from the center segment, and a second side arm spaced from the first side arm and extending from the center segment. The control bar may include a series of slats. A base supports the control bar and is connected to the first side arm and the second side arm. The control bar is biased to an unstressed position with the center segment a first distance from the base, and elastically bends under an applied force to a loaded position with the center segment a second distance from the base less than the first distance. The device stores potential energy that returns the control bar to the unloaded position upon removal of the applied load.
